Those closest to Archbishop Thuc (from whom most sedevacantists derive their claim to holy orders) provide strong evidence that he was either not in good mental faculties or he withheld intention during ordinations.

Realities are more important than ideas: Address concrete, lived situations rather than abstract doctrines. 4. The whole is greater than the part: Balance local concerns with the global.

Lovely Art. Inspiring and prayer-friendly

I'm thinking about starting a mens' group at my parish and am looking for ideas (not the Knights of Columbus): Volunteering, Bible study, philosophy, book club, etc. What do they do at your parish and what do you like (or not like) about it?
